Monster and Pumpkin Cookies

How to make a monster cookie.

 First add the hair and bolts in the head.

 Then add the face color {green} and when you run out of that make purple 

 and turn three of them into the Bride of Frankenstein.

Use the rest of the dough to make cute pumpkins.

Harry Potter cookies

 Maddy and I made more cookies. 

This time we went with a more "Harry Potter" theme rather than Halloween. 

For his glasses I used two round little cookies and a small oval cut in half {for the bridge} and put them together on the tray before I baked them. Then I let them cool a bit on the tray after baking so they would be stronger when I moved them to the rack to cool. For the fire in the cauldron I used a small maple leaf cut in half and fused by baking to the top of the cauldron. Those cauldrons are becoming a favorite. 

Maddy's HERE!

My niece, Maddy, is here and we made cookies today.

October themed cookies -

Thursday I was decorating some cookie pops for a party we had coming up.

 Hudson was out here with me and wanted to make "Angry Bird" cookies.

I just gave him the cookies and supplies and let him have at it.

 He did an amazing job.

 Pigs

 My cookies completed

The leaves were just frosted orange and yellow then I sprayed them with Wilton decorator sprays.

 I had a white pumpkin that I poked holes in with a large nail 

{wrapped the ends of the sticks with clear tape so they wouldn't get wet} 

and put the cookie pops into the holes then added fake leaves to the pumpkin.

Candy Corn -

Yesterday I cut out some cookies for a Fall Party that we have coming up and with the left over dough I just cut strips and then triangles, baked them 10 minutes and then dipped them in candy coating. The tips in white, then brushed on the orange in the middle (it didn't turn out too neat but then I thought - "Oh well, people are just going to eat them so...") then dipped the yellow bottoms. They actually taste sort of like candy corns. 

Tools for Andy -

My friend, Sue, who lives in Malaga, Spain, emailed the other day and asked me to make some tool cookies for her son who is graduating this weekend. 

Congratulations, Andy!

My VW Restoration Cookies-

I drew on the first 6 then thought "am I or am I not an artist? I can draw with frosting!" 

First I did the grey bumpers {x 75 cookies}

 Then I did the black on the tires

and the white wall and windows{all x 75 cookies}

Stopped to eat lunch with Bryan. This is the apple bbq brisket sandwich that is on this blog under other recipes. You really should take the time to make it! Very good sandwich.

 Car color on car and tires and a little grey dot in the middle of each tire.

 Black and grey details added to finish the cars.

 All 75 cars done and drying. 

They are now packaged up and ready for the reveal party on Thursday at the church during staff lunch.
